Man City midfielder Nasri: We wanted Chelsea revenge

Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri was delighted with their revenge mission over Chelsea in Saturday's FA Cup win.

Nasri admits it was uppermost in players' thoughts.

The France international said: "After the Premier League game, I wasn't really there, but in training you saw everyone was a little bit down because we thought we were the best team and we were unlucky.

"Fair play to Chelsea, they played the perfect game to counter us.

"But we knew in two weeks' time we would have to play them again and then we would show them our real faces. We did that.

"We want to win everything and they touched us inside when we lost the game at home because we wanted the perfect record.

"When we had to play them again we showed them how good we are and we don't accept a defeat, especially against a team like this.

"We wanted to get revenge and that is what we did, in the perfect way."
